While debugging a COM Interop error I came across the fact that Binding Failures can now be trapped in the IDE using the BindingFailurse MDA (Managed Debugging Assistant). Up until today, I'd still been using the FUSLOGVW utility to track down binding failures.
Experiences today have made me realize how important a solid build process is. I spent 6 hours today trying to get a development environment in a virtual machine to build the source to a component that I needed to help debug. The actual debugging session has taken less than five minutes and will probably take only about another 30 minutes tomorrow.
